北祁连东段柏木峡—门岗峡地区蛇绿岩的识别及其区域构造意义

为加强对北祁连早古生代多岛弧盆系蛇绿混杂岩的调查,选取柏木峡—门岗峡蛇绿岩开展岩相学、年代学和地球化学研究。柏木峡—门岗峡蛇绿岩位于青海省海东市互助县,构造上处于北祁连造山带中东段。由橄榄岩、辉长岩和基性火山岩组成较为完整的蛇绿岩单元。对辉长岩进行单颗粒锆石LA-ICP-MS U-Pb同位素测年,获得²⁰⁶Pb/²³⁸U加权平均年龄为(525.2±1.1) Ma(MSWD=0.06),代表了蛇绿岩的形成年龄,相当于早寒武世。岩石地球化学研究表明,该蛇绿岩中的基性火山岩属于拉斑系列,具有洋岛玄武岩的地球化学特征;玄武岩Th/Yb-Nb/Yb和TiO₂/Yb-Nb/Yb等构造环境判别图显示,该套蛇绿岩的形成环境与俯冲作用无关。结合详细的野外调查和区域对比,认为该蛇绿岩代表早古生代北祁连洋壳,与玉石沟—川刺沟等蛇绿岩共同构成了达坂山—玉石沟蛇绿岩带。     

北祁连玉石沟蛇绿岩形成时代的上限——来自正长岩锆石U-Pb定年的证据

北祁连地区玉石沟蛇绿岩以发育较完整和典型的蛇绿岩岩石组合而备受关注。对侵入于玉石沟蛇绿岩中的正长岩进行LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb定年,获得正长岩的结晶年龄为522.7±5.3Ma,属早寒武世。这是北祁连地区最早的碱性侵入岩浆活动记录。该年龄的获得限定了玉石沟蛇绿岩形成时代的上限,应不晚于522Ma,即玉石沟蛇绿岩所代表的洋盆的发育扩张过程至少在该时限前已结束。     

内蒙古北山地区月牙山蛇绿质构造混杂岩带地质特征、形成时代及大地构造意义

月牙山蛇绿质构造混杂岩带位于红柳河—洗肠井蛇绿岩带东部的月牙山一带。月牙山蛇绿岩套出露较完整,自下而上由超基性杂岩、辉长岩、层状玄武岩、枕状玄武岩及放射虫硅质岩组成。蛇绿岩套北侧发生了强烈的构造混杂作用,形成蛇绿质构造混杂岩带,由强糜棱岩化、强蛇纹石化的辉橄岩、玄武岩基质和辉石岩、堆晶辉长岩、斜长花岗岩、橄榄岩、橄辉岩、角闪石岩、白云岩、放射虫硅质岩、蚀变玄武岩等岩块组成。通过对蛇绿岩套中辉石岩、辉长岩、斜长花岗岩、辉长闪长岩及蛇绿岩套北侧斜山——东七一山火山弧中的安山岩、花岗闪长岩等开展锆石U-Pb同位素测年研究,确定月牙山蛇绿岩套形成时代约为530Ma,相当于早寒武世;洋盆发生大规模自南向北俯冲作用的时间为421.0±15~442.4±1.5Ma,相当于志留纪。通过对蛇绿岩带两侧地层形成环境及蛇绿岩带对两侧地层单位的限定意义等研究认为,红柳河—洗肠井蛇绿岩带是代表古大洋闭合的板块缝合带,以该带为界,北侧为哈萨克斯坦板块,南侧为塔里木板块。     

北阿尔金蛇绿混杂岩带中斜长花岗岩的成因及其地质意义

北阿尔金蛇绿混杂岩带恰什坎萨依剖面南端的斜长花岗岩,呈不规则脉状和透镜状产出于蚀变辉绿岩之中。该斜长花岗岩具有高的SiO2含量(70.42%~78.29%),Al2O3含量低(9.51%~11.75%),高Na2O低K2O,K2O/Na2O=0.02~0.09,属于低钾准铝质岩石;其∑REE偏低(80.15×10-6~104.1×10-6),具中等Eu异常(δEu=0.68~0.73)以及轻稀土轻微富集的特点,微量元素显示相对富集Th、U而亏损Nb、Ta、Ti的特征。以上特征与产于蛇绿岩中的斜长花岗岩的基本特征相符合。蚀变辉绿岩主量元素显示低SiO2、Al2O3、K2O、TiO2,高CaO、Na2O以及富集Th、U、La、Ce,相对亏损Nb、P、Ti的特征,部分蚀变辉绿岩样品SiO2、Na2O含量的升高应与岩石遭受海水蚀变有关。稀土元素显示弱的Eu异常(δEu=0.86~0.94)以及轻稀土轻微富集的特点。蚀变辉绿岩Mg#=51.3~54.8,Ti/V=11~22,La/Nb=1.67~2.07,Zr/Nb=10.3~27.1的特点与区内蛇绿岩地球化学特征一致,应为区内蛇绿岩的组成部分。斜长花岗岩LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb年龄为518.5±4.1Ma,Hf同位素εHf(t)=4.25~9.90。在La-SiO2及TiO2-SiO2图解上,斜长花岗岩均显示部分熔融成因,结合岩石非常低Sr高Yb的特点,认为其应形成于洋壳在运移过程中发生的部分熔融。全岩Sr、Nd、Pb同位素显示蛇绿岩源区具有EMII型富集地幔特征,与前人对区内洋中脊型玄武岩的同位素研究具有一致性,而洋壳源区富集地幔特征暗示此时的洋壳形成于洋盆裂解的早期。结合以上资料分析,本次研究的斜长花岗岩和蚀变辉绿岩可能形成于北阿尔金有限洋盆裂解的早期,形成时代为518.5±4.1Ma。     

Origin, HP/LT metamorphism and cooling of ophiolitic mélanges in southern Evia (NW Cyclades), Greece

Basic and ultrabasic blocks within ophiolitic mélanges of the Cycladic Blueschist Unit in southern Evia provide a detailed insight into its ocean floor igneous and hydrothermal evolution, as well as the regional poly‐metamorphism occurring during Alpine orogenesis. The upper structural levels (Mt. Ochi exposures) are dominated by metamorphosed wehrlites, gabbros and highly light rare earth element (LREE)‐enriched pillow basalts, whereas the underlying Tsaki mélange consists of basic protoliths with much less fractionated REE patterns as well as mantle harzburgites. Most of the metabasites show Nb anomalies, indicative of derivation from a subduction‐affected mantle. The igneous bodies were juxtaposed and incorporated into the enclosing sedimentary sequences prior to high‐pressure/low‐temperature (HP/LT) metamorphism (M1). Glaucophane, epidote, sodic clinopyroxene and high‐Si phengite constitute the Eocene M1 assemblage, which is estimated to have formed at >11 kbar and 400–450 °C. High δ¹⁸O values of M1 minerals in Ochi metagabbros indicate that the formation of the high‐pressure assemblage was controlled by infiltration of fluids from the dehydrating host sediments. Cooling during decompression is indicated by an overprinting (M2, Early Miocene) pumpellyite–actinolite facies assemblage in metabasic rocks, calculated to have developed at P<8 kbar and T <350 °C. Possible mechanisms for such cooling include: exhumation from shallower burial levels relative to the eclogites of the NW Cyclades, accretion of colder rocks from below and extensional unroofing by low‐angle normal faults and detachments. The occurrence of sodic augite in the M2 assemblage of Tsaki metagabbros indicates that rocks at the base of the Blueschist Unit cooled faster or longer than their higher level Ochi counterparts. This suggests that differential cooling of the blueschists was enhanced by the underthrusting of colder rock units.     

Forearc deformation and tectonic significance of the ultramafic Molucca central ridge, Talaud islands (Indonesia)

Abstract The Molucca Sea is a narrow basin located south of Mindanao (Philippines) and underlined by a north-south ophiolitic ridge. This ridge represents the outer ridge of the Sangihe subduction zone and emerges by uplift in the central part of the basin, in the Talaud Islands. Field studies indicate that forearc sediments rest uncomformably on (i) a dismembered ophiolitic series and (ii) thick melanges. Structural analysis indicates two deformation events, one of which is oriented east-west coaxial with the present state of strain. We interpret the earlier (N20°E) direction as a thrusting event that affected an ophiolitic basement associated with the edge of the Celebes Sea. Thrusting within the oceanic crust and sediments also generated olistostromes (melanges). The style of deformation is characterized by flattened rhombs of peridotites which exists in situ in the upper section of the crustal sequence and were also found inside the melange. Incipient Sangihe subduction around 15 Ma uplifted the deformed crust and buried the melanges beneath the forearc sediments. Recent east-west shortening during subduction of the Snellius Plateau reactivated the melanges within thrusts cutting the forearc series.
